Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
In older buildings across South Ealing, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down
- The documents you will receive
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Any exclusions
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- The category of work
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
- The parking area

Common questions in South Ealing
Do you work near Brentford station?
Yes. Brentford station is about 0.9 miles south of South Ealing, and we cover both.
Could my house in South Ealing contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
See how we quote and the cost guide.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After we have finished:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In winter, the light goes in South Ealing by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move things out of the way carefully

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
